McGuigan Private Bin Rosé 2021 (Australia)

Description

• Medium-dry style
• Strawberries
• Citrus & musk
• Crisp finish

Pale pink in colur, the Private Bin Rosé has aromas of fresh strawberries which are complemented with hints of citrus and musk. The sweetness of the strawberries is balanced with acidity ensuring a clean and crisp finish. 

The climate is hot with high evaporation rates and generally low rainfall, making irrigation essential. The climate is also continental, resulting in long sunny days and noticeably cooler nights. Modern viticultural and winemaking techniques mean that the climate can be seen as one of the regions strengths. Long sunshine hours ensure fruit ripens fully and low relative humditiy results in little incidence of disease.

The fruit was machine harvested and select parcels were carefully selected from various soil types and trellis systems, to balance the style and flavour profile to produce a harmonious wine. The fruit was then crushed, de-stemmed and immediately clarified. Fermentation followed, inoculating with selected yeast strains. Fermentation was carried out for 2 weeks at cool temperatures to preserve fruit flavours and aromas of the wine. Post fermentation the wine was racked of the ferment lees and remained on light lees until blended and bottled.

Food Pairing: Best enjoyed while young and fresh, this will pair well with barbequed seafood or antipasto.
